FAQ

How long should I prepare before taking the OET exam?
Preparation time depends on your current English proficiency and healthcare communication skills. Learners with intermediate English usually need 4 to 8 weeks of structured OET preparation. At Edoxi, a diagnostic assessment at the start of the OET preparation course helps create a personalised study plan aligned with your target score.
What minimum OET score do I need for registration in English-speaking countries?
Most healthcare regulators require a minimum Grade B (350–440) across all OET subtests. For example, UK nurses typically need Grade B in Listening, Reading, and Speaking with C+ in Writing, while doctors usually require Grade B in all four skills. As requirements vary by country and profession, Edoxi’s OET Exam Preparation training guides you to check the exact criteria before booking your exam.
Can I retake individual OET subtests if I don’t achieve the required score?
Yes. OET allows candidates to retake individual subtests instead of the full exam. If you meet the required grade in certain sections, you only need to reattempt the weaker areas. Edoxi’s OET Exam Preparation certification course supports focused retraining for specific subtests to help you improve efficiently.
What is the difference between OET and IELTS for healthcare registration?
OET is designed specifically for healthcare professionals and reflects real clinical communication, such as patient interactions and workplace scenarios. IELTS tests general academic English. Many professionals choose OET because it aligns closely with daily healthcare practice, which is why Edoxi’s OET Exam Preparation course focuses on profession-specific language skills.
How soon can I receive my OET results after the exam?
For OET on Computer or OET at Home, results are usually released within 10 business days. Paper-based results take around 12–16 business days. During Edoxi’s OET preparation, candidates are guided on result access and score submission to regulatory bodies.
Does Edoxi Training Institute conduct the actual OET exam?
No. Edoxi provides expert OET Exam Preparation training but does not administer the official exam. Candidates must register through the official OET website and choose an approved test centre. Our role is to prepare you thoroughly for success in the official assessment.
Can hospitals arrange customised OET preparation for multiple staff members?
Yes. Edoxi offers customised corporate OET preparation courses for hospitals and healthcare organisations. Training can be delivered online or on-site with flexible schedules. Group diagnostics help tailor content to specific departments, professions, or exam subtests.
Which healthcare professions are covered under the OET exam?
The OET exam covers 12 healthcare professions, including Medicine, Nursing, Dentistry, Pharmacy, Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, Optometry, Dietetics, Podiatry, Radiography, Speech Pathology, and Veterinary Science. Edoxi’s OET Exam Preparation certification addresses profession-specific Writing and Speaking requirements.
How does the Speaking test work in the OET exam?
The Speaking test consists of two role-plays, each lasting about five minutes. You receive three minutes to prepare for each scenario. The assessment evaluates clarity, fluency, empathy, and professional communication. Edoxi’s OET Exam Preparation training includes extensive role-play practice and personalised feedback.
What if I need more time beyond the initial four weeks of preparation?
Edoxi’s OET Exam Preparation course is flexible and can be extended up to eight weeks if required. Extensions are based on mock test performance and progress reviews, ensuring you gain full confidence before attempting the official exam.
What are the prerequisites to join the OET Exam Preparation Course?
This OET Exam Preparation course is open to healthcare professionals at different stages of their English language learning journey. A basic working knowledge of English is recommended, as the training builds on foundational skills to develop profession-specific communication required for the OET exam.
